LOL.... Let's not get carried away. An old fart going up in weight a little isn't a four alarm fire! Quick hx, never had knee pains through years of heavy (for me) squatting. Now, pain seems to be right where vastus lateralis and medialis attach at knee. My amateur Dx is tendonitis. No pain under patella or at sides of knee. The more warmup the better. No crepitus. The more weight I use the more I notice. Have not had MRI but don't believe any tear. No swelling. I use bio freeze before training ( hell, my wife says I bathe in that crap), use knee sleeves which help. Lighter weights has made it better. My legs and knees can still handle intense work. It's the heavier loads that present the problem. I ain't ready for the pasture yet. What do you think? Thank you.
